It contains the estate (manor house, stables, barns, and servants' quarters) with land, forest, and water. Sub-farms, which were managed from the main farm, were called Vorwerk (forecourt).

In the past, a manor represented wealth or property. This gave rise to the term "gut" (good) for a large agricultural estate. The estates that knights received from their king for meritorious services were also called "rittergüter" (manorial estates). In northern Germany, especially in Schleswig-Holstein, they were also called "Adeliges Gut" (noble estates).

Within the framework of manorial rule, a manorial estate, as a manorial estate, had extensive powers. For example, patrimonial jurisdiction emanated from the manorial lord, in Prussia even until the 19th century.

Over time, the term "rittergüter" (manorial estate) or "noble estate" became detached from the ownership structure and simply referred to an agricultural enterprise endowed with certain rights, which could also be owned by commoners.

The helpers of the old manor houses were once allowed to live in small settlements called "Heisch" in northern German (Wikipedia).

Today, the manor houses a hotel and a spa.
